What our analysts say

Sally's take

Peppers & Picks ranks Raiders D/ST (LV DST), our DST30 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 3.1 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. 2% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. He grades 52% below the average weekly DST number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. Sally keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
